[@madnessontheisland]

What's amazing is that the Saints saw the job Allen did with the Raiders and actually said, "Yes, promote this man to HC for multiple seasons! He's obviously the one to lead us out of the Payton era." Loomis keeping his job is wild with the decisions he's made and the contract situations they're carrying.

The coaching was a factor. But remember, DA was the head coach when we demolished the fist two teams of the season. Which emphasizes the reason we went down hill. The O Line is the premiere reason a team has a successful year. If your O Line is less than being in the top 5 of the league, you are fighting an uphill/water battle. Fix the O Line and guaranteed Carr will carve up the opposing teams. The best examples are the first two games of the season. Strongly believe McCoy is the rudder of this teams O Line . When he went down our team went down! When one wheel on a car gets bent the whole car is no longer Maneuverable.

40 year Raider fan here... I remember when "DA" was brought on to the Raiders as head coach in 2012... the team was immediately awful... Allen had no idea what he was doing... and they stayed awful until "DA" was thankfully fired. After that stint I said "No organization would ever hire this turd as a HC." Skip ahead a decade and the good 'ol Saints took the bait and made him their HC. Huge mistake with a predictable outcome. The idea, bwt, that Carr got him fired from the Raiders is prosperous. "DA" had dug his grave long before Car was even on the roster. Carr is a middle/upper middle franchise QB. Given a good roster he can take a team a long way... but he's not elite and he's not going to put an organization on his back and take them to the Super Bowl.
